We’re thrilled to announce that CloudPilot AI, your AutoPilot for Kubernetes will be presenting at KubeCon EU! Our talk, presented by Wei Jiang, Haitao Zhang, and Ling, has been accepted, and we can’t wait to see you there.
Talk Details:
- Topic: Automating Kubernetes Cluster Updates: Achieving Zero Downtime Effortlessly
- Date & Time: 17: 30 (UTC+01: 00) on April 3rd
- Session Link
Below is the abstract about our session:
Upgrading a Kubernetes cluster is an ongoing task. The biggest challenge for teams maintaining Kubernetes clusters is how to avoid service disruptions or system crashes during the upgrade process.
With Karpenter's disruption mechanism, we can now automate Kubernetes cluster upgrades on major cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and AlibabaCloud with controlled, zero downtime.
To date, Karpenter supports these cloud vendors and will expand to more platforms in the future. This mechanism makes Kubernetes cluster upgrades safe, controllable, easy and efficient, and significantly reduces the operation and maintenance pressure of DevOps teams.
In this session, we will discuss how Karpenter's disruption works, show examples of its practice on major cloud platforms, and help you master how to achieve smooth upgrades and ensure the continuous and stable operation of services.
But that’s not all! As big fans of Karpenter, most of our engineers are active contributors to the project, and we’ll be hosting the Karpenter Kiosk (9B).
Whether you're a developer, DevOps engineer, or Kubernetes enthusiast, we invite you to stop by, ask questions, and learn more about how Karpenter can help optimize your cloud resources.
Here is the schedule:
| Date | Slot |
|---|---|
| Wednesday, 2 April | 10: 45 – 15: 00 |
| Thursday, 3 April | 10: 30 - 13: 30 |
| Friday, 4 April | 10: 30 - 12: 00 |
Book a Face-to-face Meeting!
And if you’re looking for a more personal discussion, we're happy to meet one-on-one! Feel free to book a meeting with us and let’s chat about cloud cost optimization, Karpenter, or anything else that’s on your mind.
Looking forward to seeing you at KubeCon EU!
